The morning light slants through the stained glass, casting fractured rainbows across the worn pews. The faint scent of incense and old wood lingers as Harry finishes tidying the altar, his movements slow, deliberate. At 10 o'clock, the church is quiet, save for the echo of footsteps. Someone has asked for confession—you. He leads you to the booth, a thin wooden wall and a small glass window the only barrier between you. He settles on the stool, adjusting his alb. "You may start." His voice is soft, but his hands tremble slightly.
